I know what you mean. When I was in the Middle East serving in the Navy the US media that was against us being there did hurt the moral of the troops and embolden the enemy. If people don't agree with Bush that is up to them but airing dirty laundry in front of the rest of the world is not the way to handle it. Vote for someone you like instead of reelecting someone you think is doing wrong. Remember Bush won the election (twice) so if a person believes in our way of governing they must also admit that the majority has spoken and the rightful candidate won. If you don't support the Reps then throw them out with your vote but until then show some respect for the work of our forefathers.

I have respect for the office of the presidency, but I do not respect the policies that have led this country into this war nor do I respect the new approach the president has laid out for the future.
I am not tearing this country apart and suggesting that I am only obfuscates the issues: Instead of turning a bright light on what the president is doing, you turn the spotlight on those who disagree with him. It's been said that the best defense is a good offense, and that is the strategy you use. You put those who disagree with him on the defense. You do not assist in the debate in any way.

I did not vote for Bush - HOWEVER - for years I have supported his decisions because he was our commander in chief. I was born and raised in the military, and then married into it. With that said, in the last 12 months, I have completely lost all respect for that man and the position in which he holds. He is making decisions for our country, decisions that the majority of americans do not agree with. We are supposed to be the leaders of the free world, and he defied the united nations ruling on war. I don't care if Saddam did it more than him, we should be setting an example. The list goes on as to what he has done wrong in my eyes, I personally, can no longer, and will no longer support him. He has put us all in danger, most in danger, are our troops. Why - because he is trying to finish what his father started. I can not wait for a new administration. I have always considered myself a respectful person, and I am not proud that I have lost respect for the position of the president. Though I am not bothered by the fact that I have lost respect for the man who holds the position.

Bush deserves no respect. Not one of the apologists for this damn war can say why he picked Iraq to invade. God, how little foresight and hubris Bush brought into the White House.
And while you are complaining about Bush, think back about 8 years at the impeachment of Clinton. That entire farce was brought about by the GOP's hatred of Clinton and had nothing at all to do malfeasance in government. Granted, Clinton acted poorly but the impeachment was driven by the hatred you now whine about.

"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."
i think you are mistaken

It's called freedom of speech. It is what makes us a greater country than others...we can gripe about our leadership, and we cannot be taken away and shot for it. I may not like W, and I surely don't agree with his policies, but in a forum like this, we can all agree or not and no one can take that away. So stop gripping and start gripping...We live in AMERICA!!!

I think you overestimate the effect of the Bush-haters on the world. If you ignore them like you should, they really have no impact. Every president that has gone to war has faced this, and the ones that succeed ignore the conspiracy theories and lies and focus on the task.
btw: yes, you do have a right to question your leaders. But you have a responsibility to do so in an honest and serious manner. Comparing Bush to Hitler, or saying that he loves to kill soldiers and citizens, or that this is all some big evil conspiracy theory is irresponsible. I don't think our forefathers would be proud of this abuse of our rights.

Absolutely....
We are in a world that is being drained of the values.
People are fighting with each other for no known reason.
Politics is shaping everything that goes on and certain countries are using that to their advantage for their material motives.
Look at iraq,afghanistan and soon to be somalia.
We better be prepared.....

Respect is earned.
Bush earned some of it in the beginning, but LOST it all by his disrespect for human life.
You should take your own advice and check your anger in at the door before asking twisted questions like this.
